Overview
- SMN/Conagua report that Cold Front 28 entered the north early Wednesday, interacting with a trough and low to trigger strong showers and keep very cold conditions across the northern and central highlands.
- Forecast lows reach -10 to -5 °C with frost in mountain areas of Chihuahua, Durango and Zacatecas, and -5 to 0 °C in higher terrain of Sonora, Coahuila, Nuevo León, State of Mexico and Oaxaca.
- An event of ‘Norte’ with 50–70 km/h gusts and elevated surf is expected in Tamaulipas and Veracruz, with 60–80 km/h winds over the Isthmus and Gulf of Tehuantepec and waves up to 2–3 meters off Veracruz.
- Snow and sleet continue in parts of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, Durango and Zacatecas, while earlier coastal closures in Yucatán and wind damage in Oaxaca and class suspensions in Sinaloa reflect broader disruptions.
- Authorities remain on alert, with the National Guard applying Plan DN-III-E in Coahuila and civil protection aiding vulnerable residents, and meteorologists caution that Yucatán may face 7–10 days of unusually cool, windy weather.
